Bath Re-enamelling for Gellifor homes
Problem with your bath in Gellifor? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Gellifor without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace in Gellifor?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What affects the price in Gellifor
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gellifor. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
